israel is trying to down play the significance of the vote. the last week the israeli officials were saying this was diplomatic terrorism and they have shifted that position to say essentially that the vote taking place lacks substance. early today here in jerusalem a number of right wing activists held a demonstration near a u.n. building, they burned a palestinian flag and voiced their opposition to the vote that is taking place and a number of israels are worried that palestinians because of the vote will be eligible on bring cases such as alleged human right violations to the international human court, israeli's prime minister, netanyahu, earlier described the vote as a set back to the peace poses. >> the only way to achieve peace is law agreements that are reached by the parties directly through direct negotiations teen themselves and not through u.n. resolutions that completely ignore israel's vellets security and national interests. >> despite the prime minister's rejection of the u.n. vote, a small number of left wing israels demonstra
